Yuki, nice. Smith’s got someone he can post up in practice.

Nice list. A little tough to picture a Phoenix kid not ultimately choosing Zona. But stranger things have happened.

My Lord, did Memphis want out of that deal. Like this for Portland. Grant’s fading and if it doesn’t work Morant only has 2 more years on his deal and if it does you stole a Guy.

The WNBA is a straight up mess. It’s the worst officiated League I’ve ever seen. High School leagues are called more consistently. I think Clark is officiated horribly, but the fact that in real time she can’t connect the dots between showing up refs, which she does all the time, and getting a bad whistle is just self-perpetuating. It’s got to drive White nuts since it bleeds over into everything they’re trying to do. In that case i thought it was flagrant and Thomas is incredibly cheap and has been for years but because the League has no consistent standard for officiating physicality she’s gotten away with a lot of that stuff. But someone in their League office needs to figure out that Clark is straight up bigger than their League and Englebert is hellbent on not going there. These 7 figure supermax deals available now would have been laughed at 4 years ago and that’s on Clark. Stern was willing to go there with Jordan and that was with Bird and Magic. Stewart or Collier or Bueckers aren’t comparable to those guys. Obviously there are cultural and historical pieces that are tough to work with, but they gotta figure it out or they’re gonna set back the progress they’ve made, yet again.

Yup. Every video they’ve put out has that kid yelling in someone’s face after they did something good or talking someone through something or leading all manner of celebration. Nobody looks like they’re lovin’ it more than him.

Samet, who’s been on campus for all of 3 weeks, joins a recruiting trip for a kid he’ll never play with. Dude is officially The Man.

I have a mental block with that kid. Forget about him consistently.

Page and Williams are the only offerrees playing FIBA, correct?

Would imagine after U17 tryouts, Top 100 camp and Chris Paul’s PG camp basically back to back to back he just looked in the mirror and thought, “ I need this kind of work all the time.” LaLu has Devin Cleveland this year and he was supposedly a priority target for Dusty this class. That kid’s really good and they’ll make each other better.

Did not see that coming, though if the goal is to be a McDAA playing at a smallish school outside Springfield, MO probably doesn’t make it happen.

At least it’s a sharpie in his hand. I thought it was a cigar. That is a sharpie, right?

Love it. Also got to say, a 6’5” rising Soph who doesn’t look like an early physically maturing kid in any way is probably gonna be more like a 6’7”, 6’8” kid by the time he hits a college campus.

Well that seems…promising.

Yup, it just dings the class of ‘22 kids who didn’t get the Covid year and now aren’t getting the 5th year of the 5 in 5. But I’m sure the lawsuit is coming on behalf of those kids, too.

You may well be right. I haven’t looked closely at all. Just purely from 5 in 5 plain language only, Alexis has played 4.

Lamar wouldn’t be. He was a year out of high school before he played a year of Juco, 3 at SHSU and his year at IU. So he’s 6 years out of HS. Alexis probably would have a year. He played 4 straight years after HS,

Have never liked Ball but would have thought he’d bring more than that. Interesting to see a lineup of him, Ant, McDaniels, Gobert and whomever they’re gonna call a 4.

Outstanding

An Exhibit 10 contract is a, “Here’s some money. Come play Summer League and you have a camp invitation and we’ll see how it goes” sort of thing.

The rest of the contenders doing everything they can to get bigger and stronger and the Pacers counter by drafting the literally smallest dude at the combine.

You were saying?

Well, there goes my Pacers trade up PG right out of the chute. Love Thornton. Love him.
